FiOS TV service outage here in upper Bucks. Internet and home phone seem to be OK. Anyone else?

I tried rebooting a STB but it just froze with --:-- on the front display and a black TV screen. It's been that way for about a half hour now. The ONT indicator lights are green. Then I called my next door neighbor and his FiOS TV service is out too.

Yesterday was our first day with FIOS. We installed & activated in the morning. Checked everything out after lunch, then canceled our other service & returned the equipment. After that we tweaked some settings, and cleaned up some of the mess. A little after 8:00 we sat down to watch a show on ondemand that was on the DVR we had returned. And lo and behold got all kinds of crazy messages as to why we couldn't purchase a free show!

Since it was our first day, we figured we messed something up in the setup. So I called. After 50 minutes on hold (just how I wanted to spend a Sat. night after all day geting setup) I was told that there was an outtage causing the problem and that it happens sporadically, especially on a Saturday night! WHAT!?!?!? Saturday night is the time we're most likely to use ondemand!

Did anyone else experience this last night? And is it a regular occurrence? We have 30 days to cancel.

Yes, my wife wanted to watch something on demand last night and it gave us the same message as you. I don't know if it happens frequently because we use on demand very rarely.
And just so you know, you can't rewind or fast forward on demand.

Verizon added 5 new Center Ice HD channels recently in Chester County. I'm sure it's more for extra innings, but given that was the reason I switched from comcast, I was quite pleased. I had zero with them.

If you're in the Chester County area, can you access the free On Demand HDNet movies? I had access until about a week ago. Now when I try to play a movie, it says, "not entitled for subscription." The other free On Demand movie channels are fine. Verizon ran some remote tests and sent another set top box, but I still get the same problem. I'm going to contact them again, but was wondering if any of you are having this problem.

Not many posts here lately so I thought I'd revive the thread with this stange issue I am having.

I always dvr'd Daily News Live and then when the title changed to Philly Sports Live I deleted the series recording for DNL and set up PSL. So the problem is that no matter what I do the series recording won't work. I have to manually record each show.

Anybody have any ideas?

I have the same issue with The CrossOver on 590 at 6PM every night. I created many different passes, but still have to record each episode individually, but if I select a future episode and try to create a pass it claims it can't because one is already created, but it doesn't set it to record. The guide data even has the red box claiming New Episode.

Update, today I looked at my DVR's upcoming schedule and The CrossOver is scheduled automatically, whatever bug I have been dealing with must have been corrected, but then again I have had it show up in the schedule and not record so we'll see tomorrow, I have nothing else scheduled at that time.

I received an email yesterday plus it's in the guide for direct ordering:

Would anyone be able to provide the QAM ID for KYW-DT in the Philly/South Jersey area? Stupid me did a rescan in WMC forgetting that I had to manually create that channel originally and of course I can't find the correct QAM to re-create it now.

EDIT - Never mind, I figured it out! For future reference it's 65.1143 as of 7/20/2014

Thanks for the update. I did a WMC rescan yesterday and noticed my QAM tuner didn't pick up 3.1.
KYW-DT was added for my CableCARD tuner on 3 and 503. I guess I need to manually add 65.1143 on the QAM tuners.

I tried 65.1143 and it didn't work for me. Is your service from VHO7 (Freehold) or VHO8 (Philadelphia)?

After blowing almost 3 bills a month for cable, landline and internet I started to unload.

Going to keep my 75/75 internet but for landline I went Ooma and for TV I went local only package. Why the local package and not OTA. By dropping everything but internet my internet went from $60 to $90. If I bundled a double play with locals only TV my bill is $87.00. So I save 3 bucks and get the local package. This keeps me from climbing on the roof and daisy chaining a coax cable for three separate tv's.

Main TV is a Sharp Aquos with a QAM tuner. Its brand new. Streaming can be done with the TV but the WiFi card is weak. Using a Nvidia Shield.

Son's TV (5 year old) is a newer Element 40" but no QAM tuner so I'm not getting any channels on a scan with the coax cable attached. Streaming is done with PS3 on this TV.

Last TV is a 65" Sony LCD from a million years ago. Same thing. No QAM tuner. Streaming is done through a Sony Blu Ray Player.

One of teh Fios rips was the money spent for three STB's as well as teh DVR. $50 month just for equipment l;eases. So using their equipment for locals is a no go.

Knowing this and no OTA antenna what are my options to get those locals on the two older TV's with no QAM tuners? Can I use a purchased set top box and feed the coax cable into that and then run HDMI to the TV's? If so, which set top boxes are recommended to do what I'm looking to do.
